The prosecutor general ordered former President Hosni Mubarak sent to Maadi Military Hospital for tests to determine whether he should be treated in a hospital outside Tora prison.
A medical committee formed by Prosecutor General Talaat Abdallah examined Mubarak at Tora Prison Hospital Tuesday after the former leader fell in a bathroom there last week. The committee is tasked with submitting a report on Mubarak's condition to help Abdallah determine whether he requires more advanced medical care than the prison hospital can provide.
Mubarak is serving a 25-year sentence for failing to prevent the killing of revolution protesters.
After his fall, Mubarak was taken to the military hospital for tests and a scan showed he had cracked ribs and fluid in his lungs, according to officials.
Doctors monitoring his condition have said he receives periodic follow-up from prison doctors and does not need surgery.
